Aging or drifted temperature sensor, Sensor not fully immersed in water flow, Scale buildup around sensor, Control PCB calibration error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa before attempting any internal inspection.

  • 1. Verify with external thermometer: Measure water temperature with a reliable thermometer and compare to the display.
  • 2. Descale sensor area: If accessible, remove the pump and gently descale the heater/sensor area with a mild descaler, then flush thoroughly.
  • 3. Power reset: Unplug for 10–15 minutes, reconnect, and see if readings stabilize.
  • If readings remain consistently off by several degrees: The temperature sensor or control PCB is likely out of calibration and may need replacement. Contact Lay‑Z‑Spa support.
